Andrews House Plays 2018 - Smells Like Impulse (1)

SCENE ONE

Eerie music starts to play ( X- Files Theme?). Music continues playing gently as AGENT PROVOCATEUR and AGENT ORANGE appear downstage in a spot.

ORANGE

I can’t believe you dragged me halfway across the world to investigate a routine case about a teenage disappearance. He’s only been missing for five days. Simon Fairfax is not the first young man to disappear from the East Point Road vicinity. (pause) I’m just asking you to help me check it out. (pauses and sighs. Looks at her watch) Okay. But we’d better wrap this one up within the hour. I’ve got a shampoo ad to shoot tomorrow morning.

PROVO

ORANGE

PROVO

Okay.

ORANGE

Where do you suggest we start?

PROVO

I want you to research the history of deaths and disappearances in the vicinity since white settlement.

ORANGE

Great.

PROVO

I’ll speak to local kids around the same age and see what I can uncover.

ORANGE

How come I always get the crappy desk jobs?

PROVO

You look better in moody indoor lighting.

ORANGE

Do you really think so?
